Over the past few weeks, my family and I have been going through one of the hardest stretches of our lives.
My dad passed away after 23 long days in the hospital. Those days were filled with uncertainty, exhaustion, and moments that will stay with me forever. Every day I showed up, kissed him on the head, and told him I loved him. In the end, I got 23 of those moments, and I’ll carry each one of them with me for the rest of my life.
During that time something remarkable happened.
So many of you from the Nuggy Dog Co. community reached out. Messages, prayers, kind words, and support came from all directions. Some of you I’ve known for years, and others know us only through Jasper Golden Nugget and the brand we’ve been building together.
But every single message meant something.
When you're going through something like this, you're trying to stay strong for the people around you. The amount of support we received reminded me how many good people there are out there. It helped lift us up during a time when we truly needed it.
My dad was a strong man who believed in hard work, perseverance, and showing up every day no matter what life throws at you. Those lessons are a big part of why Nuggy Dog Co. exists today.
He helped shape the work ethic and determination that built this little brand from the ground up.
Even during these difficult weeks, orders continued to come in and the support from this community never stopped. That meant more than I can ever properly express.
So from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Thank you for the messages.
Thank you for the prayers.
Thank you for supporting our small family business.
And thank you for simply being there.
As we move forward, I’ll carry my dad’s lessons with me every day.
And as always…
Always remember, the Nugget loves you.
